Two Berkeley professors and the NSF may continue to display and maintain their OA web site on evolution even though fundamentalists complained in federal court that it violated their religious beliefs.
Comment. This case is is a good example of a slam-dunk that's nevertheless critically important to win. If it had gone the other way, it could have crippled science, especially OA science. See my comments on it from last November, when the case was filed.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
